“One thing I think that game did teach us is that we can play with anybody. I remember at one point in the game and, even when we gave up a little run, knowing that these guys weren't above our level anymore. After playing with the No.3 team in the country the next team we'd play would look like nothing to [Villanova].”
“I was just taking what the defense gave me and unfortunately I didn't shoot well from the outside today, but that's what they gave me early on, they weren't really contesting me. Then once they started, I started driving and had a nice dunk and had a couple passes to teammates to create and open up the floor.”
“The most important thing that we can take from [Cincinnati] was that it was a potential game, I think we can only learn from this loss. As far as shooting, taking proper shots at certain points of the game. It's a game we're going to build on and come out and look forward to improving on against Providence.”
“We have a lot of freshmen coming from winning teams. We know how to win and we know what it takes to win. I have confidence in my teammates and myself. This is about imposing our will.”
